imagine. Now, the man would throw
himself up in the air; then the lady
would-nol then the lady wouldn't, but
he man would catch her in his arms,
lift her up, swing her around, and put
1er down in whirl. Now, they sepa-
.ated, now they united again, now they
changed partners, mixing in bewilder-
ng labyrinth, while the music played
bold, quick air, full of life. The dance,
polka, is downright intoxicating; in it
he people cast off every burden of life,

Son Heir to a Couple of Millions.
A divorce suit commenced in a Mime
apolis, Mimi, court brings to light some in
teresting facts. The plaintiff is Mrs. Helena
Campbell, daughter of one of the wealthy
families of Lacrosse, and the defendant is
Miles D. F. Campbell, a scion of noble
Scottish family. The ground of the COM
plant is cruel and inhuman treatment.
Campbell is about fifty years old, and his
career has been an eventful one. The pros
pective heir of a wealthy and noble house.
he was given every advantage that money
could procure He was successfully at the
universities of Leipsic, Berlin and Heidel-
berg, and was fine linguist. AT one time
he served under the Grand Duke of Schles-
weig- Holstein and held the rank of colonel
in that army.
Finally he came to this country and began
teaching French and music. A romantic
attachment to one of his prettiest pupils
sprang up and turned his attention to matri-
mony. Subsequently he became travelling
salesman for wholesale liquor houses and
received salary of 5000.
His second wife was the pretty Lacrosse
girl who now sues him for divorce. After
his wife left him Campbell travelled for
Ascherman & Co., of Milwaukee, but for
some reason he left them and drifted back to
Minneapolis, where he took position as
barkeeper He is now out of employment
but seems to have plenty of money. His

dwarfs called the Batwa lived south 81
the river. Wissmann also heard Of them
later, and now Wolf has been among
them, and remarkable little people be-
found them.
They average about four feet three
inches in height. Most thirteen year
old boys are as tall as these little foIRs.
Their villages are near those Of the Ha-
kouba and other tribes who regard them
as very useful little beings They are
great hunters and makers of palm wine.
AID they supply the tribes among whom
they live with plenty Of game and wine,
receiving IN exchange lnanioco, rice,
bananas and affectionafe protection.
Sometimes they unite with the larger
races, and DR.. Wolff saw half breeds who
were the fruit of these unions. They
climb palm trees to collect the sap with
wonderful ease, and they excel IN the art
of inventing snares for game. They are
remarkably agile, and in the chase
they bound through the tail heritage,
springing like grasshoppers. They APP
proach the elephant, buffalo and antelope
with the utmost audacity, and launch
their arrows and lances with precision.
They have no deformity, but are simply
little men, well proportional, courageous
and cunning. They are brown in color,
much lighter than the tribes among
whom they live. DR.. Wolff heard of q
bearded dwarf tribe which has not yet
been visited.

knew Of a city editor in this town who
had a pet bugaboo to scare off fash young
applicants for positions on his staff. When
ever one would present himself the c. E.
would assign him to write up the "City Hall
Cellar" About twenty-five college gradu-
ates, each of whom was imbued with the
idea that he was an embryo Dickens, were
scared away by this apparently hopeless
task. Some never attempted it, and those
who did were unable to pass the watchman
who guarded entrance to the mysterious place
and never permitted strangers to pass. One
day commonplace-lookin young man
came along and made the usual application.
He was not a college bred, and it was sup
posed that the bugaboo would scare the re-
portorial idea out of him instanter.
In about an hour after he had been given
the assignments he returned and wrote quite
an interesting article upon the appearance
of the cellar, the manner in which it was be-
ing utilized, and what use its various COM
partments would be put to in the future.
When asked how he got into the cellar he
replied: II lowered myself down through a
coal hole by means of rope and bribed the
engineer to show me around for couple of
good cigars" The young man was engaged

announced that he would make his former
efforts at Denver look like shed. He
loudly asserted that he would knock the
earth out, especially in the decorations, in the

for his decorator, and did not go inside the
Leadville structure until the Italian sent
him word that he would like his opinion.

as quite satisfied.

some resemblance to our Virginia reel,

country girls and their movements are
more graceful in pictures than in reality.
Flowers are indispensable to the dancers
of these regions-fowers in their hands,
flowers all over their low-cut bodices and
flowery crowns in their flaxen hair. No

dancers in this establishment are for the
greater part young men, with sprink-
ling of old bachelors who cannot give up
their former habits, few married men,
perhaps, who have, for an evening, es-
capped the apron-strings, and a host of
grssettes and cocOttes, of all ages, but of
one and the same standard. Many for
